X-Ray Excitation of Molecular Hydrogen and [Fe II] Emission in NGC 1068

Abstract NGC 1068 is a source of luminous emission in the near-infrared lines of molecular hydrogen and [Fe II]. Although these emission lines are commonly attributed to shocks, I show that in NGC 1068 it is quite plausible that they arise in the X-Ray Dissociation Region (XDR) produced by X-ray irr...
